About Me

Hi there, my name is Wes Mahler, I’m an internet entrepreneur and real estate investor.

More specifically I build highly scalable systematic internet businesses through entrepreneurship and then take the excess corporation’s profits and leverage them by putting down payments on long term real estate investments which are managed professionally. In short I aggressively make money on the internet and invest into very low maintenance passive real estate investments.

I’m a product of the many books I’ve read that have given me some philosophies about business that I use on a daily basis. I strongly believe that personal development, learning and associating with role models is important. I highly advocate reading personal development books and listening to audio CDs. Most of the greatest ideas I’ve received is through the audio books I’ve downloaded. There is a wealth of information, study what you want to get good at.

I’m currently in the process of building my own company to one million dollars a year in sales; my role model is Ryan Allis a successful internet entrepreneur who wrote a book at the age of 17 years old on how to build a company to one million dollars a year in sales. I’m taking his ideas from the many ideas I’ve gathered and am using them to help aid me in my goal to do one million dollars a year in sales.

I work about 60-70 hours a week, pretty much all of my free time. I have dropped out of Oregon State University two times, once I had failed, this time I shall succeed. I have moved from Portland, OR to San Francisco, CA to build an internet company in the most active internet area in the world, Silicon Valley. I own my own rental property in Oregon but have since shifted my focus towards entrepreneurship. I’m going to build this company to one million dollars a year in sales, once it becomes profitable we will hire employees that will help maintain it, 3-4 years down the line we will raise a strategic round of investment to boost our company to the next level. I have not decided whether or not to take the company public in the later years at this time.

If you would like to meet me please send me an email and we’ll talk, provide value to me, and I will provide value to you. I feel the best way to achieve success is simply through helping other people achieve success for themselves. One of my philosophies of life is from Zig Zigler, “If you help enough people get what they want in life, you’ll have everything you want in your life.”

I have come to believe one of the most needed traits of a good entrepreneur is the ability to master the simple concept of focus. Although focus may seem simple it is actually a hard skill to master, the entrepreneur by nature is an opportunistic person who sees many areas where they can generate a profit. This means the entrepreneur is always looking at new opportunities and focus is easily lost. This idea of chasing after things becomes a negative because you will see many inexperienced entrepreneurs try to do to many things at once.

The best way I can describe focus is to think of a magnifying glass, in that when you try to focus on something through lenses you can only focus on one thing, the other objects are always blurred. You can not focus on two things at the same time. If you have 1 project that is fine, if you have 2 I would bet that you aren’t as focused as you could be. Even with two projects you have already split your effort in half, focus on one that will provide the most reward. Focus so simple but so hard, get good at it, focus is key, one of the concepts you’ll need to master if you too want to build a company to one million dollars a year in sales.

I look forward to meeting you, my name is Wes, and this is my blog.
